FAQ

Federal law does not prohibit employers from conducting background checks before an offer of employment is made. State laws, however, may have restrictions. Although in most states a standard background check can be conducted prior to an offer, a small number of states do not allow it.

There is no federal law that requires all employers to run background checks on all new hires. There are no state, county, or city laws that implement this kind of requirement, either. Instead, background check requirements are decided more on an industry-by-industry basis.

Credit Checks: In Massachusetts, a Consumer Reporting Agency may release applicant's credit reports to employers. However, before requesting a credit report an employer must inform applicants in writing that a credit report will be requested.

There are two types of criminal record checks in Massachusetts: a name-based criminal record check and a fingerprint-supported criminal record check. A name-based criminal record check (CORI) returns information on available Massachusetts arraignments.

You must always obtain written consent before doing any kind of criminal background check on a prospective employee. It is illegal to single out a particular candidate for a background check, so it is always best to perform a background check only after a job offer has been presented.

Or are credit history background checks a separate tool? There is a simple answer to these questions: a criminal background check will never include any information about a person's credit history.

The Massachusetts Pay Equity Act prohibits employers from screening applicants based on their salary histories. This includes a prohibition on requesting information from applicants about their salary history or prior wages. Massachusetts also has a ban-the-box law found in M.G.L. ch.

Is my employer allowed to conduct criminal background check on me as part of the hiring process? Yes, but employers must obtain your written permission before accessing your CORI records through the state system.
